<h3>Import NetCDF/CF</h3>

<p>The NetCDF/CF reader enables the Sentinel Toolbox to import generic NetCDF/CF data products.</p>

<p>The NetCDF/CF reader supports any image-like NetCDF/CF file structure up to
    NetCDF version 3.5. The currently used NetCDF Java library version is 4.3.22.</p>

<p class="inote"><b>Note: </b> You can find additional information about NetCDF at
    <object classid="java:org.netbeans.modules.javahelp.BrowserDisplayer">     
        <param name="content" value="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/">
        <param name="text" value="<html><u>http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/</u></html>">
    </object> and
    about the NetCDF Climate and Forecast (CF) Metadata Convention
    at 
    <object classid="java:org.netbeans.modules.javahelp.BrowserDisplayer">     
        <param name="content" value="http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/">
        <param name="text" value="<html><u>http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/</u></html>">
    </object>.
</p>

<p>Additionally the NetCDF library also handles reading of HDF4 and HDF5 files. Currently it supports reading of
    HDF-EOS products in gridded format using the Lat/Lon projection and the sinusoidal projection.
    These are e.g the MODIS L3 products.
